Melange
 
Type:  Blended Tea     Producing Country: France      Preparation:  95°C 5 Min

Dry Leaf:    This blended tea contains pieces of flowers and spices.  It smells delicious, almost like a loaf of panettone.
Wet Leaf:  Orange/bergamot and cinnamon are the dominate scents.  
Liquor:      The coppery-color tea is smooth, sweet, but slightly astringent.  Cinnamon and orange are two flavors that stand out.   Pairing it with caramel macarons would be sublime. 

Tee Score: 4 out of 5
